A Boston Vendetta.
Boston Transcript.

We have no Capulets and no MOnta-
CUES in Boston. no faction fights of chiefs
and retainers; but We have families who
keep up a bloodless vendetta from gener-
alton to generation. Sometimes. as i'm
the case of some of the leading families
of Verona, the young people of the rival
clans forget the enemIty of their elders
and marry, after the way of Shakes
peares lovers. These marriages result
more agreeably than than that of Romeo
and Juliet, but the elder MOntagues and
Capulets keep up good old-fashioned
hatred. They don't cross swords. but
they exchange chances that are meant to
kill, and the freezing pOlitenesS of duel
lists IL exhibited whenever the chiefs of
the two factions meet.
\ young friend was telling the list
ener the other day that the great Falkirk-
bennington wedding. which attracted
attention some months ago, was very
splendid and very uncomfortable.
why: and wherefore:
sob. 1t Is easily explained. The Lea
mingtons have never forgiven the Fal-
Adams in 1Sos To support Jefferson. The
LeamingtonS prevented Ealkirk's great
grandfather from being elected To Con
gress, but the present people coulin {
prevent Penelope bennington from mar
rying FortIyce Fllkirk. The Leaming-
tons gave dinner to- the Falkirks tn
commemorate, the betrOthal. but the at
moSphere of the occasion was So friglti
that the ice-cream hardened To- such an
extent as to become uneatable.

The Senatorial Contest.

The aspect of the fight in Tallahassee
is unchanged save that the report given
out in Jacksonville as to the refusal of
certain Democrats to submit to the eau
Gus has been proved unfounded. There
will be no party kick and the members
stand solid; it is now demonstrated that
Bloxham is either out of the race or
must depend ON Republican votes which
have been claimed for him.
Much has been promised when Dough-
erty's affidavit reaches Tallahassee. and
all but Mr.. Jones are evidently in doubt
as To what our Congressman knows on
the subject. Evidently Jones trusts his
lie does, and his attempt to
back up his word by that of
Dougherty will prove to be to-day a
blank cartridge. The suggestion made
in our dispatches cannot he followed by
Bloxham, and Jones must rely on some
other man to- drag from the bushes,
the truth for which he makes pretense of
searching. Why does he not call for an
investigating committee ON this dark
point:
We are grieved to- see that the Blox-
ham organ still shoots off its ''anony-
mostly" He has found another Lex"
who is now in Jacksonville; he hears an
anecdote which Gov. Perry did not
tell his private secretary and was
not therefore given in that
friendly confidence" which is SD sacred
to the Times Union. and he is deaf to
the excavations of his foul proceedings,
which resound throughout the State.
Are not our esteemed contemporaries of

The editor of the Times Union had
some important testimony to lay before
the Legislature. and he has been assert
ing this persistently for months. He
based the claim he made for search
after the missing" section ON this infor-
nation, and he has repeatedly promised
its production. Now that the committee
has been appointed he declines to appear
and says all he knows has appeared in
print. We are glad of an investigation
ON any doubtful point, but we respect

The farmer will meet with but few

his own table and the market if he will
heed the following:
1. Build a good poultry house. well
ventilated Whitewash it four times a
year, and during the summer sprinkle
the entire inside with diluted carbolic
acid occasionally.
,. Give your chickens plenty of good
feed and water. Cracked corn and
wheat bran mixed are good. Now and
then mix "A little sui hur with the feed.
Rive is also good. The farmer can raise
the rye and corn while the bran costs
but a trifie.
3 Allow your chickens to have good
range. especially in the woods. \ clus-
ter of oak bushes is the best place for
them. \ mulberry grove would also be-
good. Every farmer ought To have "A
grove of this kind for the benefit of his

4. Always feed your chickens on

boxes for mine.
The above are the real essential points

| little attention.
| have a bone mill that cost me $500

Poultry raising on the farm in Florida
